What stands out about Castleford District
- Enrolment fell from 353 to 306 students (13.3% down) across FY2019–FY2023 while the instructional salary pool per teacher went up. Districts on that path are usually holding staffing steady against a falling roll, which lifts the per-teacher figure without anyone getting a raise, so read this page's salary estimate alongside the enrolment line rather than on its own.
- It is a very small district (306 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
